About this ebook

 Madalynn Melton is forty-something,
overweight and unhappy. She’s unhappy with her life, her job, her body, and just
everything about herself. She knows she’s capable of so much more, but she’s
just not sure how to get there. Bored and unhappy after a shopping trip with
her daughter, she walks into a pub and meets him. She can’t believe that he
would even want to talk to her, much less dance with her. Her eyes are opened
when she overhears his friend talking about her and her every fear about who
she is and how others see her slaps her in the face. She runs out of the pub
and becomes determined to be what she wants and stop wallowing in her own
self-pity.

Lucas Greystone saw her the minute she
walked into the pub and she fascinated him instantly. He is determined to keep
his private and public life separate, so he doesn’t tell her that he is popular
country singer, Luke Grey. He introduces himself and is planning to see the
lovely woman again when his friend and manager opens his mouth and has Maddie
running for the door and disappearing into the night and Lucas is sure he will
never see her again.

Three years later, Lucas finds her again,
but she has changed and so have her circumstances. This doesn’t change her
appeal to him. Her curves and intelligence are just two of the things that
attracted her to him. Lucas knows she probably wouldn’t want to see him, but
maybe as Luke, he can get close to the woman he just wants a second chance
with. Will time run out for him, when she finds out who he really is? And is
there someone else who is determined to make sure that they never wind up
together? What happens when a country singer with secrets and a romance writer
running from her own fears try to start a relationship? You never know, but it
does sound like an excellent beginning to a great country song....

Have fun and I hope you enjoy Maddie and
Lucas’s love story.

 

This story is for 18+ readers only.

Part One is pretty tame with a couple of
intensely graphic scenes that are sexual in nature between a couple who have
their own hang-ups and fears about a relationship. 

Ratings and reviews

OH MY GOD! I have to say that this is definitely a must read book by a very talented Arthur. She is bright and puts a lot of thought into her work. As I was reading this book, I honestly felt like she was writing about me or someone I knew. It was like every page had something real in it. I wanted to get mad, I wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh, and most of all I wanted to be in love. I was so excited and now I can't wait to read more from Bronte. She is unbelievable talented and smart. I wish her the best, this is a MUST READ...
